GEMS
When God wants to make rubies, sapphires, diamonds, topaz, He first of all puts His raw material into His compressor.
Heat and pressure and some very basic materials are all that are required, plus time. But oh,........... the finished product!
Have you ever seen diamonds? Real Ones? Big Ones? ................
If you have, the glow and sparkle and intricate patterns of light and shade and colour are something you will never forget.
What God does with inert grey matter is just what is done with grey human lives.
First of all He puts them on the HOT SPOT. Then He puts them under pressure...........Then He LEAVES THEM THERE. Maybe, though in reality the Great Alchemist is never far away.
When God wants to do something wonderful He starts with a difficulty. When God wants to do something VERY wonderful, He begins with an impossibility.

Dear Ones may I share the above with you all. A wonderful old lady passed these words to me . She was a great Christian, born with a disability........The Lord didn't heal her in this world but she gave so much to others, that His purpose was worked out through her life.....
Thank you Jenny for sharing this with us. You are a special friend and very much in touch with our Lord.

Lord, help us to be patient while we are under the heat and pressure of being turned into gemstones for You!
